How would you describe the US foreign policy in the late 18th century?

1 answer:

6 0

The foreign policy of the late 18th century was aimed at drafting a "Model Treaty" to guide foreign relations.

The purpose of the "Model Treaty" was not with a specific country, but was a template for future relations with foreign countries and was the first diplomatic statement of the United States.

It adhered to the ideal of free and reciprocal trade. It was also a practical document that reflected the US non-political commercial arrangements with France and Spain. It was a proposal to formalize these arrangements as arrangements between countries and not just individuals.

This non-military treaty had three main components:

1.- Free ports to guarantee free goods,

2.- Freedom of the neutrals to trade in normal goods,

3.- Arrangements on a contraband list.

Ket [755]

The correct answer is - A. Cecil Rhodes and Leopold II traveled into the interior, showing other European leaders that such journeys were advantageous.

Rhodes and Leopold II in a way opened the gates for the European leaders to have the desire and go to the interior of the African continent. It was not just because of the possibility to do so because the African tribes were by far disadvantaged technologically and military compared to the Europeans, but it was the treasures that the continent was offering and how easy was it to get to them and use them for trade and become wealthy. That lead to a major colonization of the continent by the European colonial powers, and they took full advantage of the natural resources Africa had to offer.

Marianna [84]

The First Bank of the United States had been established by Congress at the urging of Alexander Hamilton in 1791. Despite its generally successful operation it was defeated in a renewal attempt in 1811, on account of political considerations. The War of 1812, however, demonstrated the need for a national bank and plans were formulated in 1814 by James J. Dallas, secretary of the treasury. Dallas' suggestions were watered down until in the end, the proposal was viewed as too weak and was rejected. President James Monroe then sought a stronger proposal, and Dallas provided one to John C. Calhoun, chairman of the House committee on the currency. He noted:
